Location of death:
au château de Roucourt (entre Pecquencourt et Arleux, aux confins de Cambresis). The location of Roucourt is important as it is recorded as the location of the death of two consecutive Rasse in 1148 and 1150 and the death of Gilles de Chin first husband of Eve in 1137. The location of Roucourt seems to have been important because it was near a bridge on the old Roman road, the only river crossing.

According to the chronicler Jean de Guise, he took a striking revenge for the insults he received from the Count of Flanders, and he was not afraid to wage war against the Count of Hainaut over the foundation of the tower and castle of Ath, which he claimed belonged to his wife.

It must be said that Gilles de Trazégnies, brother of Anselme de Silly, before leaving for the crusades in 1136 sold the land of Ath which came to him from his grandmother Beatrice d'Ath to Baudouin de Hainaut. The son-in-law of Ade d'Ath, sister of the aforementioned Beatrice, did not accept to be deprived of his rights on this land. The dispute was settled, after many years of mutual intimidation, between the son of Rasse de Gavre & Ide de Chièvres and Baudouin de Hainaut, who ended up incorporating the châtellenie of Ath into the county of Hainaut and built a castle there.

He died during a battle between Thierry d'Alsace, count of Flanders and Baudouin de Hainaut. Baudouin came to take back the castle of Raoulcourt that he had built from Thierry d'Alsace, who occupied it. Rasse perished in the assault (Annales du Hainaut, XII, 9).

Some authors say that he was buried in Ghislenghien. This is probably a confusion with his father who had died a year earlier. - In 1127, he was put at the head of the troops that the Ghent people sent to Bruges, to avenge the death of Charles leBon

He was father of Rasse de Gavre and of Béatrice dite Berthe de Gavre ép. Eustache du Roeux dit Le Valet.

He was a faithful vassal of Thierry of Alsace, Count of Flanders.
He was one of the main characters of the count of Flanders at the court of the count Charles le Bon. After the assassination of the latter, he served Thierry d'Alsace, Count of Flanders, and joined the camp of the bourgeois. To illustrate with a symbol the policy he had championed, he adopted the chaperon or caplet (chaplet), the headdress of the bourgeois, as his crest, which he placed on his knight's helmet. His motto was: "Gavre au chapelet".
